<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > pot side is a local snack in Fuzhou, Fujian Province, which is generally common in small stalls or Fuzhou snack bars. </h1>
The edge of the pot is made from rice milk, sea oysters, flower clams, dried clams, dried clams, dried cooked fish, green onions, shiitake mushrooms, etc., with fritters, oil cakes and other food, which is a treasure among the many breakfast choices of Fuzhou people.

When I was a child, whenever there was a festival at home or a guest from the city, the adults would be busy burning firewood to make pot edges in the cauldron! Later, the wood stove was dismantled, and I never ate the authentic wood hot pot again.
The outside taste is good, but it is always a little less flavorful.
So, I prepared myself at home, used the materials that I could use at home, tried it, and made a pot of authentic Fuzhou cuisine "pot edge". The ingredients needed are clams, rice noodles, pork belly, green onions, ginger, and garlic.
Early in the morning, I took to the streets with my mother to pick out the freshest ingredients.
On the first day, the clams sold out after going late. Mom said that she could replace it with other shellfish first, which I strongly objected to! Because I am a good clam with this umami taste. So I had to go to the street earlier the next day to buy clams to make pot edges. (Of course, the northern friends who can't buy clams can try to make it with other shellfish, and if they have the opportunity, they still have to come to Fuzhou, Fujian to taste it.) ）
I bought rice noodles at grocery stores, and it didn't seem to be very good. It is recommended that you can go to a treasure to find it, or buy rice yourself, and use a wall breaker to beat it into rice milk, which is very convenient.

The clams you buy home must spit sand, pour them into a bowl filled with salt water, let them spit for half an hour, and you can cook them with confidence.
Clams spit sand in salt water
After spitting out the clams in the sand, pour them into the pot and cook the soup for ten minutes. The clam soup is milky white, clear and transparent, and looks very appetizing. It smells like a faint fragrance.

Then, peel the clam meat separately and set aside.

The next step is to cut the pork belly into strips and fry them in a pan.

After simmering the oil, add the ingredients such as shallots, ginger, garlic, clam meat and stir-fry the seasonings. After a while, the aroma of the stir-fry will fill the entire kitchen.

After sautéing until fragrant, pour in the freshly cooked clam soup, cover with a lid and continue simmering.

On the side, I can't sit idle. I mixed the rice noodles I bought in the morning with water to make a thin rice paste.

Spread the rice paste into a skin shape in a saucepan.

Put the cut rice strips into the pot where the soup was just cooked and cook for a few minutes. The aroma of the ingredients stir-fried, filled the whole bowl, is simply the essence! The aroma is spread, and the edge of the pot is full of the delicious soup!
Cook the side of the pot
Although the rice skin is a little thick, it does not affect its taste in the slightest! Be sure to use clam soup, it's really delicious!

Presumably, the person who created this dish, cooking soup with clams, must have his reasons. The edges of the pot made by myself are thicker than those that come from the outside. Served with oil cakes bought in the breakfast restaurant, it was so delicious.
